Privacy as a Human Right
Openpot was created with a single mission: to provide a premium, modern tracking experience that respects user privacy above all else. In an era of data harvesting, Openpot stands apart by ensuring your consumption history never leaves your device unless you explicitly choose to sync anonymous durations.
Local-First Engineering
Our architecture is "Stuttgart-Safe," meaning we prioritize local execution and zero-knowledge storage. By using browser-native IndexedDB, we offer the speed of a web app with the security of an offline ledger.
Open Source Transparency
The Secure Timer is an open-source project licensed under the AGPL-3.0. This means the community can audit our code, verify our security claims, and contribute to the future of private session tracking.
